Today's Nami is particularly different. She seems calm and quiet in front of Xia Shang, without any trace of the coldness and straightforwardness of the past.
Looking at Xia Shang at this moment, he seemed to have a strong desire for expression and seemed to have a lot to say to Xia Shang.
But at this moment, Chuntian's voice came from outside: "Master Xia, people from the Dahua Imperial Court are here to find you."
People from the Dahua court...
Xia Shang was a little surprised and walked quickly outside the house without telling Namido.
Seeing Xia Shang gradually go away, Nami's eyes flashed, she slowly got up and went to the dressing table in the room, looked at the bronze mirror on the dressing table seriously, and then gently touched her hair, with a soft look.
Boneless posture.
She seemed to be admiring herself, but then frowned again.
Xia Shang had already arrived outside the house. When he saw Chuntian, he asked, "What is going on?"
Springfield rolled his eyes: "How do I know?"
Xia Shang didn't say much and hurried out. At the gate of the mansion, he saw Dong Guojin with a group of official officials, as well as representatives from Lingsi and several Japanese missions at the gate.
When Dong Guojin met Xia Shang, he immediately shouted solemnly: "Welcoming minister Xia Shang to receive the order."
The imperial edict came suddenly. Xia Shang was stunned for a moment, and then he knelt on the ground.
"According to His Majesty's instructions, the editor of the Hanlin Academy served as the editor of the Hanlin Academy and received the Japanese mission, and the editor of the Hanlin Academy was posthumously appointed as the director of the Ministry of Revenue and the Treasury, and he took office immediately."
"Treasury...chief..." Xia Shang didn't react for a while and looked up at Dong Guojin.
Dong Guojin smiled and stepped forward to help Xia Shang: "Master Xia, why don't you get up?"
Xia Shang then stood up, looked at the people Dong Guojin had brought, then looked at the Japanese delegation with a cold expression on one side, and then stared at Dong Guojin: "What is going on here?"
"Of course I'm here to congratulate you on your promotion to the position of chief." Dong Guojin looked attentive.
Xia Shang pulled him aside and lowered his voice: "Tell me more."
There was no one around, so Dong Guojin whispered everything that happened in the court this morning.
After hearing this, Xia Shang glanced at Lingsi in the distance: "They actually asked the court to replace me..."
"My lord, I am also worried about this matter. I don't know what happened to the Japanese mission. Why did they replace my lord, and at the same time named me to be my lord? I am really unreasonable!"
Xia Shang looked at Dong Guojin’s
He looked really scared.
Xia Shang asked back: "Your Excellency, you really want to know what happened?"
Dong Guojin was stunned for a moment and did not answer.
"The more you know, the greater the risk. You should truthfully tell everything you know. I believe that the people in the Japanese mission will not dare to do anything to you, don't you think?"
Dong Guojin wiped his sweat and looked helpless.
He knew that what Xia Shang said was true, but he didn't know what was going on now, and his heart would always feel empty and uneasy.
In the end, Dong Guojin did not ask any more questions.
The next step is to hand over the work. There is nothing substantive, it is just a formality.
According to the order, Xia Shang was about to leave the mission, but before leaving, Xia Shang still arrived in front of Lingsi, and when there was no one around, he smiled and said: "Are you giving up so soon?"
Lingsi didn't reply and turned back to the mission.
There was nothing to miss here, so Xia Shang was ready to leave immediately.
After walking a few steps, Chuntian appeared beside Xia Shang: "The prince said I don't need to follow you anymore."
Xia Shang glanced at Chuntian: "This is not good, you don't have to complain anymore."
"But the prince still hopes to cooperate with you."
Xia Shang waved his hand: "Forget it, I don't like Japanese people."
Chuntian frowned and looked at Xia Shang's shadow on the ground: "I don't like you either!"
…
Xia Shang returned to his home. As soon as he arrived at the door of his home, he saw several carriages and several trailers at his door. The people following the carriages were all strangers, not his servants.
After walking a few steps further, you can see Huai Rou Ruyan standing in front of the door from a distance, seemingly seeing someone off, with a smile on her face and looking very enthusiastic.
Xia Shang came to the door curiously, but at this time the team had already left.
Ruyan returned to the mansion first and did not see Xia Shang. Huairou took a deep breath at the door, wiped the sweat from her face, and looked a bit like a match, then turned around to go back to the mansion.
Xia Shang was only two or three meters away from his wife, but she didn't even see him. Xia Shang raised his hand and was about to order something, but his wife had already returned to the house.
Fortunately, Xiaoyue behind the madam glanced at Xia Shang, and her bright eyes suddenly lit up: "Young Master!"
Xiaoyue hurriedly ran to Xia Shang: "Young Master
, why are you back?"
With that said, he turned back to call his wife.
Xia Shang grabbed Xiaoyue's hand and asked in a low voice: "What happened just now? Madam, why does something look wrong?"
Xiaoyue was stunned at first, and then showed an irritated expression: "I don't know why, but the visitors have come one after another in the past two days without interruption, and I heard that they are all the women of wealthy families in the capital, so I can't
Miss you. My wife has been hanging around with those guests all day long. She is so busy that she has become confused."
"Visitor..." Xia Shang let out a sigh, feeling that something was not normal. He thought to himself that he would not be so popular because of his situation, right?
But Xia Shang completely underestimated the sense of smell of the big houses in the capital. With the current situation, ordinary big houses would not dare to offend any force.
Xia Shang is regarded as a demon king in the capital. Although he has been suppressed temporarily, as long as he is not dead, no one knows what will happen next.
In the past, Xia Shang had no worries in the capital. Even if someone wanted to help Xia Shang, there was no way. Now that he heard that Xia Shang's family had come to the capital, he was naturally given the opportunity to move around. Anyone with a certain status in the capital would
They were all eager to show their goodwill to the Xia family.
There is still no news about Xia Shang's promotion. If people in the capital know that Xia Shang has been promoted from editor of the Hanlin Academy to head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, there will be even more people coming to fawn over him.
Xia Shang didn't think much, and took Xiaoyue to the yard: "Let's go and see what's going on first."
Xiaoyue noticed the gaze of the young servant at the door, and quickly broke away her hand, lowered her head, and followed with a hint of shyness.
As soon as they entered the yard, what they saw was a mountain of various gift boxes. Liu Ruyan was standing there holding a pen to record, and even Li Xiaoxian was helping.
Xiaoxian saw Xia Shang and did not come over immediately. Instead, he glanced at Ruyan.
When Ruyan turned around, the two women gathered around and shouted "Ms." in unison.
They didn't speak, but doubts could be seen in their eyes.
"Suddenly news came from the imperial court that I was asked to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to be in charge, so my return was a bit sudden."
Ruyan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Master, on your promotion."
Li Xiaoxian curled his lips and said, "It's just a matter of fact. I'm a lowly official. What's there to congratulate?"
Xia Shang smiled dryly and pointed to a pile of gift boxes at the back: "Are these all given by visitors?"
